There seems to be some misunderstanding by an IP editor on this page just what a Misplaced Pages article is. Let me clarify:
#This is not Perry Hall HS's "page" on Misplaced Pages. It is Misplaced Pages's article on Perry Hall HS. It in no way belongs to the school or its students, and people connected with the school (students, staff, alumni) have no more right to edit it than anyone else. As a matter of fact, if editors connested to the school edit in the fashion that the IP has been recently, it is actually easier to remove an editor from editing the page due to the inherit conflict of interest.
#Factuality is not the only criteria for inclusion of something in the article. There is documentation somewhere on exactly how many ceiling tiles there are in the school, I'm sure. Should that be included? Heck no.
#This article is written for the entire English speaking world. It is not written for the student's staff or alumni of the school. Things that are only of interest to the people in the school's community are not to be included in the article. Exactly what do you see as the significance of burying a time capsule? Will Mitch in Minneapolis or Betty in Bhopal give a damn in 15 years. No.

Further, if someone challanges an edit you have made by removing it, you do not just put it back. That is called "edit warring" and is frowned upon by the Misplaced Pages community. Instead, you come here and try to form a consensus of interested editors on what if anything should be included about the subject. This is not social media. It is an encyclopedia. ] (]) 19:03, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

There seems to be some misunderstanding by an IP editor on this page just what a Misplaced Pages article is. Let me clarify:

  1. This is not Perry Hall HS's "page" on Misplaced Pages. It is Misplaced Pages's article on Perry Hall HS. It in no way belongs to the school or its students, and people connected with the school (students, staff, alumni) have no more right to edit it than anyone else. As a matter of fact, if editors connested to the school edit in the fashion that the IP has been recently, it is actually easier to remove an editor from editing the page due to the inherit conflict of interest.
  2. Factuality is not the only criteria for inclusion of something in the article. There is documentation somewhere on exactly how many ceiling tiles there are in the school, I'm sure. Should that be included? Heck no.
  3. This article is written for the entire English speaking world. It is not written for the student's staff or alumni of the school. Things that are only of interest to the people in the school's community are not to be included in the article. Exactly what do you see as the significance of burying a time capsule? Will Mitch in Minneapolis or Betty in Bhopal give a damn in 15 years. No.

Further, if someone challanges an edit you have made by removing it, you do not just put it back. That is called "edit warring" and is frowned upon by the Misplaced Pages community. Instead, you come here and try to form a consensus of interested editors on what if anything should be included about the subject. This is not social media. It is an encyclopedia.
